Time is
We talk about it often.
Leaving here to find there.
A place we can be together.
A place where things can be…
Quiet,
Hopeful,
Joyful,
Happy.
Raise animals. Raise crops. Raise kids, or grandkids?
Pray in the morning before breakfast.
Put the flag up, first thing.
Work hard in the fields,
and be ready to do it again… tomorrow…
Tired? No.
Retired.
Looking for a way of life,
only dreamed of for the last 30 years…
or longer.
No more doing what was necessary, by someone else’s clock.
On your own to power through the day.
A new way to live.
(Time is)
running…
out.
